The only great part of my evening at Vox is the atmosphere - I requested a quiet booth on a wednesday evening for dinner and was happy with the table, ambiance, etc. However, I came to Vox strictly for the menu options (looks great online), and my date and I both left displeased. We each ordered a mojito, a cup of soup, and an entree. The drinks were pretty good... almost worth the $12 each. My lobster bisque was tasty but was served luke-warm. My scallops were also served luke-warm, however, the veggie/rice mush in the center was piping hot. Sadly enough, the veggie/rice mush tasted similar to a frozen dinner. healthychoice's kung-pao chicken i believe.... My date's seared tuna was dry-looking and tasted like it was missing something - a sauce perhaps? All in all, not a horrible experience, but not great either. We choice to walk down newbury st. for another restaurant for dessert. \r

I went to Vox for dinner a year or two prior and was very pleased with everything so, despite it's recent negative reviews, I hoped to give it another chance. I'm so displeased! I've been to a handful of comparably-priced restaurants in boston recently that were 10 times better than vox with the food/presentation. \r

A good point - the waitstaff (despite bad reviews) were great that night. ....go figure....
Pros: ambiance, location
Cons: food
